To measure to the nearest 16th of an inch, first use a ruler or tape measure that has markings for 16ths. Align the zero mark with one end of the object you are measuring, then locate the nearest whole inch or half-inch mark. Count the 16th-inch increments from that mark to the other end of the object, rounding to the nearest increment if necessary. For example, if the measurement falls between 3 and 4 inches and is closer to the 3 7/16 mark than to 3 1/2, you would record it as 3 7/16 inches.

centimetres To measure an object smaller than an inch you can use a ruler. Builders often use rulers to measure things smaller than an inch. Or you can use a vernier caliper to accurately measure small things. If you r are talking about what measurements you use then you use parts of an inch ie 16ths or 8ths or 32nds of an inch.

It depends on your ruler and what units are on your ruler. To measure to the nearest inch just find the inch measurement and round up or down to get to the nearest inch in your measurement is between two whole numbers.

No.
Well, a 12-inch ruler is equal to 1 foot, so you could use that. You could also use a tape measure.
72. if you use a ruler, and measure an inch under the bottom of the circle (that the number is in) you will find the switch :)
To measure a 62-inch luggage accurately, use a tape measure or ruler to measure the length, width, and height of the luggage. Add these three measurements together to get the total linear inches. This will give you an accurate measurement of the luggage size.
